Question Question 5
Mention the basic features of a:
(a) Sovereign State
(b) Socialist State
(a) Sovereign State — The term 'Sovereign' refers to the independent authority of a state. In a sovereign country, the government has the supreme power to legislate on any subject without any external interference into its internal affairs by any other country.
(b) Socialist State — The term socialist refers to the economic and social equality in a country. This has been ensured in the Constitution of India by inserting the word 'socialist' in the Preamble by the Constitution (42nd Amendment) Act of 1976.
